That little stinger at the end was not as surprising as they thought it was :P

It's very cool tech, but it's far from transparent. It has a very obvious "autotune" like sound to it that jumps right out. when they edited that one word it was obvious it had been edited.

Again, super cool tech, just not going to replace voice actors or anything.

I think that the "star trek" use case of a live translation is super exciting. I think that this also will force people to have pass phrases that they use to authenticate phone calls with. I normally downplay when people bring up everyone signing everything with a public/private key (impractical for normal users) but clearly there will be a need for authentication protocols as AI proliferates

Is Meta just operating in hope and AI moonshots now ?

Everyone one of their products is just garbage to me and becoming less relevant by the day. When do they actually starting building something useful again ?

Honestly Apple seems to be using “AI” much more successfully and actually seamlessly integrating it into their existing products to improve them.

My theory is Mark is hoping the meta verse will pop out if Yan’s bottom at some stage. Maybe he is right? I just can’t for the life of my understand why the current products are just so so neglected?
